The Sprint Free Lane
If you could be a sprinter, you would.
We get more rest.
We don't train as far but we go faster.
Every move matters.
We're fast twitch. We're strong. We're fierce.
It's adrenalin
We get the glory
50's & 100's are our thing, we wish we could race 25's & 75's, we think of 200's as distance & tend to split longer races quite badly because we have no sense of pace. But it proves to ourselves, our coaches & friends that we have absolutely no business in any race over a 100.

Perhaps he knew he had it bagged and didn't wan't to push since he already has the record.
I did a test and the breath costs me 0.1 - 0.2 when taken at breakout for 25m. I'll have to do another test to see how much a midswim breath hurts me, figure how many for each course I need to optimize my time then decide from there.
What I REALLY need to work on before anything is my streamline into the water and off wall (if any). Those are killing me. Unfortunately I can't hold my hands classic style, locked in a stacked fashion because the angle it places on my trick shoulder. I have to lock my thumbs holding my hands side by side which is OK, but many times the hands dig in or out and ruin the swim. Eventually I'll get a surgeon to fix.
